Attachment-based Therapists in South Abington Township, PA

Hello! My goal is for you to feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn, grow and overcome current obstacles to be your best self. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy teaching skills that can be used to help regulate overwhelming emotions, communicate more effectively, and improve meaningful relationships.

We have all experienced appointments or moments that we felt uncomfortable or forever changed as a result. Parenthood and life transitions are examples of journeys that no two people will ever experience the same, have the exact same feelings, exact same memories, or stories. Each person is different, each story is unique, valid, and special.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults, who experience situations or symptoms related to grief work, trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, codependency, anger management, bipolar disorder and attachment work. I work to provide a warm and unconditional environment that will allow clients to feel safe, accepted and free to explore their current life circumstances and come to know the strength within them. I currently work in office and telehealth sessions if needed.

If you are looking for support to work on yourself, your family or increase your relationships with others, we are here. If learning has been difficult and seems out of reach, lets talk. If you are experiencing some conflict either internally or with others, we offer an empathic approach to support you on your journey to understanding. If you have lived a life of traumatic events or one, we are here to help. If you love people who just can't love you back, we are here to help you explore. For parents of adult children who have been left out, cut off or distanced, don't go it alone. For children, we are always here for you.

Welcome, I would like to tell you about myself, I am a licensed social worker. I have over 25 years in the mental health profession and helping individuals of all ages. I offer a peaceful environment where you can honestly express yourself. You can be reassured that you will not be judged in the present or past but can be assured I will work with you to obtain peace within yourself in the present and future. I look forward to helping you on your journey to serenity.

My vision as a therapist is to help adolescents, adults, couples and families recognize that they have what it takes to promote their own evolution. Growth and change can be a challenge at times. My role is to support others to work towards their healing holistically; I help them to unpack the pain that exists and recognize the impact on their mind, body, spirit and relationships. t is my intention to break down barriers in areas related to relationships,divorce,infidelity, blending families, adoption, anxiety, depression, and racial inequity in such a way that my clients feel more connected to their own sense of purpose & value.

As a psychodynamic therapist my approach to therapy looks at how trauma, past relationships, core beliefs, and attachments have shaped a client's present behaviors and thought processes. The goal in my therapy is to discover what we need to heal in order to grow and prosper- and then how to begin the work. If you feel like you don't know where to begin and as if you're "stuck" in the same patterns and self-defeating behaviors, you're not alone. If you're ready to take the next step in your healing, I'd love to help guide you. I specialize in marriage & relationship issues, personality disorders, and trauma/mood disorders.

Welcome! Finding a counselor with whom you can feel safe and vulnerable is so important, so I would like to share a bit more about myself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in Pennsylvania. My counseling style is empathetic, caring, genuine, strengths-based, and holistic. My work includes the use of evidence-base approaches, as well as mindfulness and respect of clients’ diverse backgrounds. I strive to help clients grow by working with them in a collaborative, validating, supportive manner. My aim is to help clients feel centered, comfortable being their authentic selves, and empowered to cope with life’s challenges.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, self-image/identity/esteem, relational issues, or just general feelings of sadness? My goal is to make you feel seen, heard, and understood all while exploring these current issues. I'm not that stoic, serious therapist you've traditionally seen portrayed in movies. I smile, I laugh, I frown, I may even gasp (insert gasp!). But I'll do my best to always make you feel safe and supported. I'm just another human who, like you, is looking to learn, connect, and grow. I believe in taking a down-to-earth, relatable approach to therapy, providing a new perspective while collaborating with you.

Life is not an easy road to travel, so let's team up and travel together! There can be a number of things that makes someone's journey more difficult: becoming a new parent, relationship challenges, peer issues, not finding joy in the day to day, a recent traumatic event, or something from the past trying to relive in the current moment.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression, have difficulty with daily function or at a crossroads in life and unsure of your next steps, I can help you find a renewed perspective and direction. As a counselor, I offer compassion, patience and understanding and will work with you to define and overcome what is challenging you, helping you to discover that balance and peace you are looking for. Using evidence-based techniques I work to help clients to improve their quality of life, decrease the negative effects of stress and depression, and to realize and let go of problematic thought and behavior patterns.

Are you navigating the stress of life transitions or grappling with anxiety? You're seeking a therapist who understands your unique needs and supports your journey to emotional well-being. Your goal is clear: to find practical solutions and guidance for a happier, more fulfilling life. Together, we'll work to achieve the positive changes you desire.

We repeat what we don't repair. If it feels like you or your child is stuck in a cycle that isn't working for you and you're at your limit and don't know how to make anything better, please know two things: you are not alone and we can repair this. I am a licensed psychologist and I offer psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and parents. I have experience treating a wide variety of concerns. My style is warm, empathic, genuine, and caring. I believe in the collaborative process of therapy and my primary focus is on building a supportive and safe therapeutic relationship to help you (or your kiddo) face life's challenges.

Reclaim Your Inner Strength! Sometimes life throws curve balls and other challenges and we found ourselves in the midst of powerful storms that impact our well being and balance. If you or someone you care about has had too many negative or unpleasant experiences, you do not have to accept a sentence of suffering and lifetime sadness or anxiety. You can learn how to heal and build a life filled with joy.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed? Do you find yourself stuck in repetitive patterns? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or struggling with inner conflict? My goal is to help you acquire tools for building a stronger sense of self in your personal and professional life, and more fulfilling interpersonal relationships. My clients can expect to develop practical problem-solving and decision making skills, improved confidence, and a better sense of wellbeing through supportive therapy.

Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.

Are you searching for a warm and safe place, a safe person with whom you can share your story? In my practice, my goal is to create that space for you, to hold that space for you in each session so that you can bring all that has been weighing you down and together we can lift the burden. I am more than happy to help you find that space in person or over video therapy if that is more comfortable for you. I offer warmth, caring, and clinical expertise gained through extensive training from my grad program at Columbia University and postgraduate training at the Center for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of NJ.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for my clients’ self-discovery and healing. I support my clients as they build on their intrinsic skills and strengths so that they can navigate through difficult periods and life transitions in ways that foster growth and well-being. I believe that the strongest therapeutic relationships are built from trust, respect, transparency, empathy and equality. I counsel from a place of kindness, understanding and compassion through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens.
